Rare Tintin drawing sells for $1.7 million at Hong Kong auction
Rare Tintin drawing sells for $1.7 million at Hong Kong auction A rare drawing of comic book hero Tintin by Belgian cartoonist Hergé fetched over a million dollars at auction in Hong Kong on Monday (Oct 5), as experts say comic art is becoming as collectible as paintings. The artwork is an illustration from the cartoonist's "The Blue Lotus" book, published in 1936, which sees Tintin and sidekick Snowy the dog on an adventure in Shanghai. It sold for HK$9.6 million (S$1.7 million) and French auction house Artcurial said it had been bought by an Asian collector. http://www.straitstimes.com/asia/eas...d-in-hong-kong |
